I have to venture into Victorian BDM territory and find Reg nos for a marriage and a few births. This is totally new territory for me as I've not had anyone in Victoria until now. I'm having trouble using the Vic BDM website so am wondering if there are any foilbes unique to the Vic Index. I have the full names of the parties being married and even the date of the marriage but get no result even using a vague search on surnames only and a year range which is one year either side of the marriage date given in a NSW cert for the birth of their last son. Does anyone have any tips on using this Index? I vaguely recall someone telling me that it was a pig to use and they eventually had to go to a major library and look their bods up on fiche. I'd rather not do that if I could avoid it. TIA Fran
